Testicular Cancer Stats
 This year, an estimated 8,720 men in the United
States will be diagnosed with testicular cancer. The
average age of diagnosis is 33.
 The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of
men live at least 5 years after the cancer is found.
Percent means how many out of 100. The survival
rate is higher for men diagnosed with early-stage
cancer and lower for men with later-stage cancer.
For men with cancer that has not spread beyond
the testicles, the survival rate is 99%.
